    Default Mystery Pipe??

    Hi Guys. Just replaced my battery and while installing the new one I noticed a small clear pipe going down thru the floor(on the side near the door!). It is not attached to anything at its top end and I am wondering should it be!
    I looked all around and couldnt find anywhere to plug it into. Sunroof drain maybe? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

    I think that may be a vent for the battery... Unless they used a sealed unit in there. If it was, there should be a port on the battery to plug it in to.

    Car Info is HERE

    Sounds like the Gas vent for the battery...Make sure you bought a battery that has one and hook it up!
